LISBON, OCT.'*.—The army of La:Mancha, re , intr iced by - a corps ireio that of E,trectwAttra;_haS adA :-:nced from the banks of thel3nadiana to resume the offettsiv, ; its out-posts have already arrived at At..cording:to letters' from the frontiers of Alentejo, some Englis'h troops have marched for the interior •ot Spairk. . H • NIAN*ESA, SEPT; 14.—8 y intelligence received Iron . ) the neighbourhood of Gerona, we learn-that the enemy, on the i tth instant, and prevtoudy, had kept .n . p- a very slack fileagainst. that place, and- noi,e at all on'the 12tn::- . • ttuowoßonkr4o, SsrT. 25.---On the 17th; the army of Marshal N4y -advamfed - towards. our troops, who took 4cisn , ;•ri on the 18th to receive him :the . euetny having been informed of the jimaion, and that we were, very 'superior to him in num ber, retired at day-break of the otik to' Saki .manca,i and joined the troops of'Kellerman, near the said city., TARRAGOIA, SEBT. 20.--The pleasing news has this moment been teceiv‘ei, that Don H. O'Donnell, having 'received-intelligence of the arrival iti‘Bascara of a French convoy, escorted by 360 foot and -40 horse, .desiined to succour the besiegers of Gerona, / resolved ter attack them; and, atter having defeated the French with, .his own troops, reinforced by the corps of D. Francisco Lovera, be took Bascata by. assault, took 50 carts loaded with spoils, and forced -The - reinainder of 66 enemy's troops to retreat with the utmost precipitation to Figueras. The defeat of • the enemy would have been complete, if he bad not shut hintselt up in the Castle, .which Don O'Don nell's hike was not able to take. LISBON, OCT. 6.—Certain intelligence his been received that the Engliali . army was to march against Talavera de la Reina, which it has probably reached by this time; and we feel convinced, that the ope. rations of the combined armies will prove this time more decisive than before. • TARRAGONA, SEPT, 25.—0 n the 16th inst. after the immortal Gerona had, for five days, suffered a most horrible and destructive fire, 1200 men of the garrison determined to make a sortie, and to take a battery of eight pieces of cannon, which the enemy had constructed near the city, and which annoyed them much. The intrepidity and valour of these uncooquenole heroes attained so high a degree, that overcoming all difficultieS whiCh the obstinacy of the most sanguinary enemy . presented, they appear ed-before them with the utmost coolness, and with the bayonet made themselves masters of the battery, spiked eight cannon, and returned to the city, when a numerous reinforceniept came to the assistance of - the French. Teo:ULT.°, OCT. 4.—The Trench abandoned last night the positions they occupied on this side of the Tagus, and marched towards Talavera. _OCTOBER s.—The advanced, gnard of the Duke del Parque is at balistro, but, it is feared Ney will " resume the positions which Soult has left. On the 3d instant a flag of truce arrived at Ponte de Arzo bispo, and proceeded to Caldelacasa, * *there one of our piquets was posted; he deManded of the Coin mandieg Officer permission to proceed to the head quarters, to which he would not - consent.; and after enquiring Where the English were, he deliver ed to the said Officer a dispatch for Sir Arthur Wellesley. It appears that the division of Soult is tnarching towards Toledo. TALAVERA, OCT. 2.—Yesterdq morning the French evacuated Placentia, proceeding towards Campo Aranueto ; and giving out that they should be replaced by Ney's troops. LISBON, Sate., 30.—The French have evacuated Zamora and Toro, and hive formed a junction iii Salamanca : it is not easy to determine whether this movement is in consequence of the approach of the division-of General B.illasteres, 'or with the design of contracting and attacking the army 'of General Men dizabal. Ocroatua 7. —By. a packet lately arrived from Rio de Janeiro, a Decree has been received from the -Prince Regent, appointing Lord Wellington, Prin cipal Member of the Regency, Commander in Chief of all, the Force, and Principal of the Departments of War, Trade, aiid Finance. His Lordship is ex petSted here daily ; the Palace of Quinti is is pre pared for his reception. • No movements of any „ consequence have taken place in the armies. OCTOBER e.—An. Officer just arrived from the army, gives the fellowink, -account of the French" force on the ist last Marshal Ney, at Salamanca, with 14,000; Souk; at Placentia, Zarza Mayor, and -Malpartido, with 8000 ; Vidor, head-quarters at Oropesa, with 4000 ; Mortier, at Talaveta, with 20,000 ; General. Sebistiani.is said 'to be on his march to Guadalupe, .with 10,000. " OCTOBER it.—e Lord Wellington arrived here yes terday ; it is not khown bow long he will remain here, but we infer from his having left the 'army, that there is no-apprehension of any attack from the enemy at present. ELostEmeNT.si—An accomplished yotitt Lady, the daughter of an artist, in the neighbourhohd of Caven dish-square, :eloped from her home on Tuesday morning ; and in three hours atter she was • missed she was discovered leaving a bagnio in St. Niartin's Parish, in a yellow bodied chariot, accompanied by her clzer anzi, who , is the son of a Baronet. The carriage stopped at the corner of the street, where the young Lady alighted, and to her surprize she was immediately confrOnted by- a ser*mt in the em ploy of her father, and a relative, both of - whom had gone in quest of her ; and from a kind 'of billet cloux, they were not Mistaken in their surmises. The pursuers had followed the chariot from the brothel on foot, and the young Lady, on seeing them, was unable to support herself, and a crowd soon col lected. , The lair fngrtive was taken to the house of a bread in Greek-street by . her pursuers. It is a fad, no leas curious than correct, that the young ).ady fainted in the dress boxes of Covent Garden Thriitre about a fortnight ago, whilst amongst a party of relatives, and she happened to fall back wards into the arms of this same gallant, who was 'not known to the young Lady's family at the time, but who was so kind as to lend his assistance on that occasion. 1 . 7 OM the LOY - DON GAZETTE; oe-t..lh If r ar.OffiCC, Ca. 24, 1809.

MADRIEc- SEPT. 28.—We learn that a numerous, reinforcement of POles hava entered Spain, byway of. Bayonne. They are to be immediately followed by'other troops. ' It is well known that great discord prevails in the Junta of Seville, and that parties alternately over throw and succeed each other, according as they are more or less blindly obedient to the Marquis Wellesley, Plenipotentiary, and, what is still more, cashier of England, to the members of that .fac tious assembly. It is asserted, that,• finding an ap pearance of resistance in some of those who posFAs the greatest influence, and who have already sold themselves to iiirn, he has threatened to print a state ment to the prices at which he purchased their sub servience to the will of the Cabinet of St. James's,. and t heir . c`onicienct. s. • The Official Gaietto - has...published a Letter, which accurately delineates The agitated state• of the Junta of. Seville, and the ettreme dejettion of the people: SpottirNG.--bil 'SatUrday la4f MAcir CooKt's fog hounds met at Kelvedon - Park, near Ongar, fOr the fiist,daY's hunting this`season. At ten o'cloc! , :, tie hounds were thrown into cover, L. , at not ti:,ding, tivky. left the Park, and went to Pri - ckler's Wood, _ ,w - hp,4 - kley, chopping a cub in coVer, they unken nelled. 'fox, which they ran for an hour and three, quarters, and killed. But the death was fa-' flier remarkable; the fox, being hard pressed, was killed in endeavouring /o cross Ongaritiver ; when two Gentlemen, who Were. riding foi , the brush, immediately left their horses, and plunged into the river, were struggling -together a considerable tiMe for the,brusb;` with the whole pack about. them, tearing the.fox; one at length succeeded in cut!ing it off, _and:the fox,inimediately sunk. The„M.ijOr a little vexed that the holands should be deprived of ,; their prey, One of the Gentlemen who had been in - the water . plunged in again, and succeeded in getihr , , - ; the fox from the bottom, and it - was given to tho • • hounds.

" The deje6tion is general, my friend after so many sacrifices required from our provinces in par ticular for above a year. Distrust alone prevents the people from loudly proclaiming what they think; but finding themselves deceived, they are highly ex asperated. It is chiefly in the country, and in the villages, crushed by the pressure of the war, that they give vent to all the bitterness of their resent- . meat against the leaders of Seville. " And do you.suppose that the latter can conceal from us - the scandal of their debates ? The Junta,. is split into parties; he who can collect round him a number of puffers, who . can - get the lowest of the rabble on his side, is sure to 'triumph, infamous deeds are perpetrated. More than one vietitn has already been sacrificed by informers, who will fall in their turn - . 'How, indeed, is it possible to find a me diator among the fa Lions. The military leaders share in all the passions of the Junta . ; and each party in the Jtinta alOrnat.ely protects its faithful adherents. It bz:stows much less 'attention on the establishment , of discipline, and the revival of the'conrage of troops, than. on the support or removal of this or that Geneial. Hence you may kriovV.What - has been the end of all those'; magnificent .promises, which it thought to spreads abroad, at the opening of the campaign in July. " BLit what you cannot represent to yourself, my friend, is the confusion and terror of those who fled back from La Mancha to ‘ their retreat at Seville, which they only left, as they repOrted, to return, in 1411 security, to, their hOuses in the capital.' Amidst such disorder, it would be difficult to find pure hands, to which to entrust the management, of the public Money, " C. and T. * are generally supposed not to have forgotten themselves; they are said to have trans ferred their booty. for security to the Canaries, and they are not the only ones. So much is certain, that nobody knows what has . become of prodigious sums. But our faithful allies have not more de voted' partizans, or the French more inveterate enemies. ou should witness their important air, their imperious tone, in the assemblies of the Junta : though the members of 'the opPosite faEtion are not a whit less arrogant. In their behaviour towards the people, 'they neither want suppleness nor dexterity ; they know how 'to agitate, to calm, and to mike themselves feared. _ ! my friend, I would not believe you ; and yet all that you predicted_ has . happened. You were not the only prophet. • But, without experience, without a knowledge of mankind, could I imagine . that the name 'of patriot could be usurped by those very persons who hurry their country to the brink of a precipice, reckless . ot every thing but to gratify their avidity ? lam perfeeily cured of my blind ness ; but how I deplore that of so many of my ac quaintance! The French, I see have only to leave us alone, in order to triumph. " I have complied with your request, and-de pitted, though in very feeble colours, our melancholy ' situation'. Compelled to embrace your opinions, be-, heve, - rne 'I shall willingly share your hopes, that we may soon be released from so many calamities." A - fellow of genteel appearance has committed se , veral villainous depredations on unprotected womell in : Mary-le-bone, within the last few days, by re,; presenting himself 'as a Sheriff's Officer, and at other times 'a PoliCe Officer. ' A female of the; name of Mills, in Norfolk-street, was presented with a writ by this impostor on Thursday night last, and the fellow. obtained three guinea - s to take her word for her-appearance the next day ;'but she never saw him again. Another unprotected woman of the name of Souk hcot, in Mayes-building, Mary-le-bone, was alarmed by the sight of a warrant for forgery, and passing Luton notes, by the same impostor. — This also happened late at night, arid the poor girl deposited apparel. to the amount of 101. and two guineas in money to the villain, to avoid being taken to a watch-house. The impostor has committed se- veral other depredations'of this description. - - A traveller from Yorkshire lately waited upon a Scotchman at Aberdeen for " money and orders; the latter he got, but Sawney informed him he . should have the former remitted him to Berwick on Tweed, if he would inform him what inn he would put up at, ~ which the traveller told him , was the fen-and-Chickens. The Scotchman was as good as his word, for on the traveller arriving there, he found a letter for him with the needful, bearing the following. superscription To Georgie Wil-on, a Yorkshire codger cheildin, rides a grey rat-tailed beastie, wl' a pair o muckle walies; puts tip at the Ben-and-Birdies, Berwick upon • Tweed.—An' it s he's -not there,- he's awa South."
